Shimano Cumara Casting Rods
The first thing you will notice about the Cumara rods is that they are extremely lightweight. Shimano was able to bring down their total weight by combining lighter EVA Shaped Foam Grips, a split-grip handle, a small foregrip and an extremely minimalist reel seat.
The new custom Split Reel Seat Design on the Cumara Casting Rods allows for greater sensitivity transfer because your hand is in direct contact with the blank, even in a palm position. The sensitivity exhibited in the Cumara is deadly in slow presentation applications, as well as, deep water where sensitivity makes a world of difference. The superior sensitivity ensures you feel even the subtlest taps.
The Cumara also excels in casting light and weightless baits, but is competent at throwing larger lures and can even be used for light flipping and pitching. The Cumara has an unexpected amount of power to move fish and even though it has a high modulus blank it doesn't feel overly stiff. Designed to be a rod for bottom bouncing techniques, it can pull double duty in a pinch as a reaction bait rod. You really can't go wrong with the Shimano Cumara Casting Rod Series. The features, quality and price are all there.
The Cumara Casting Rods match up perfectly (balance and ergonomics) with the Shimano Core Casting Reel. Click here for more information.

Comments:Can not say enough about these rods. I searched every where in Australia for a one piece 7'2 light casting rod for throwing light spinnerbaits, vibes and cranks at Australian Bass. After 12 months I couldn't find a rod I liked, so I took a massive gamble and purchased the Cumara CUC-72M without actually picking one up or having a play with one as for some unknown reason. Shimano Australia won't bring them over,luckily for me the gamble paid off. These rods are very light and the feel is awesome, I would go as far as to say it is better than the 2 Loomis GLX rods I have been using.

Comments:I have had lots of higher priced rods, but once I bought one of these I had to have more. Now I have five of these from the medium to the medium heavy extra fast all in the 6' 8" length. These are so lightweight and responsive they are such a pleasure to fish with. I have been fishing with these for over a year with absolutely no problems.

Comments:BEST ROD EVER OWNED PERIOD!!!! This rod is amazingly light weight, sensitive, powerful, and comfortable to fish all day. handles Giants like nothing and I love this rod, 100% worth it!
From:Blake: Monroe, MI
Comments:I have the 6'8" MH Fast action Cumara. Great rod for fishing bottom contact lures and soft plastics. The only complaint I have is that the rod is maybe too stiff. When casting, the tip doesn't load as well as I would like in order really fling lures out there. But in terms of sensitivity and lightness, this rod is great. Especially for short distance pitching.

Comments:best rod ever! 7'2 MH XF. took it out the first day and caught a nice 7lber. no problem, extremely sensitive.
From:Tommy: Bartlett, TN
Comments:This rod is OUTSTANDING, I used the 7'2 MH XF since very early spring for mostly jigging, tubes,Texas rigging, Carolina Rigging drop shotting and "gobying", I also use this rod(with a modded Core) for light plastic swimbaits, traps and light cranks. This Rod does not let me down. A great product for the money.
From:Gary: Smallmouth Paradise
Comments:Very satisfied with this rod, I bought the 7'2" med hvy ex/fast for swimming jigs,it has a nice fast tip but loads extreamly well. I caught an 8.2lb largehead on its 1st day out, handled her no problem.
